How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

Each dependant staying longer than 90 days needs their own Resident Permit; the process is the same as for the principal and can be done at the same time online; dependants attend the in-person document verification and biometric enrolment with the principal; the permit must be renewed by applying before 60 days of expiry. The official source does not state the permit's validity period, the dependant's rights or a route to independent status.
